Last week, I completed the #7daystretch challenge with prAna and Sweat Pink and had a blast! Did you join in on the fun? We stretched, got bendy, rejuvenated our minds and souls and I got to show you my awesome new prAna pants! Here’s a fun little visual summary:
This post is sponsored by prAna on behalf of my partnership with Sweat Pink.
The challenge has officially come to an end, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to! Let’s continue to stretch out minds, bodies and souls all year long! I’ll start by helping you stretch your knowledge about… ME! Yep. I know you want to know more about the girl behind the blog, so here are 7 fun personal facts:
- I am wildly obsessed with: gummy bears. Since I discovered I’m allergic to corn, and therefore corn syrup, I’m constantly on the hunt for corn-syrup free candy, especially gummy bears. They can’t be worms or even little fruit snacks. They must be bears. I found some tasty ones at the airport on the way to Blend and got some good ones from Whole Foods, but I wish I could find some in regular groceries and convenience stores. Maybe I should just order a bunch?
- I have a collection of: charms. I have a charm bracelet and collect charms wherever I travel. I have a silver one that is overflowing and gold one that is quickly losing space.
- I am not so secretly: in love with bulldogs. I think I mention them on the blog at least once a week. Well… here is your daily dose.
- When I was 7, I wanted to be: in advertising. Yep. I knew what I wanted to do from a very young age. I remember sitting on a plane with my sister coming up with commercials for all of the snacks the airplane gave us. I remember having a genius idea for advertising baby carrots, but I can’t remember what that idea was…
- If I could do one thing today, it would be: Eat a massive bowl of Reese’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream with a side of movie theater popcorn doused in butter and not feel sick for days afterwards. #foodallergyproblems
- I’ve always dreamt of….: Flying. Seriously. I’ve had a few reoccurring dreams about flying. When I was little I had very realistic dreams about flying down the hallway and staircase outside my bedroom. I was convinced I actually could… that didn’t end well.
- My favorite way to travel is: Uninhibited! I like to make some plans but also leave some space to just wing it! It would help if I also had all the money in the world to truly have no limits. Anyone want to help me out with that?
- And bonus!! Next week, I’ll be starting as an official co-host of the Wild Workout Wednesday Link Up! Woohoo!! I’ve been joining this link up pretty much every week, so I’m pumped to officially be a part of it. Be sure to check out all the other awesome hostesses: Angelena Maria, Annmarie & Michelle, and I’ll meet you back here next week for the official hosting kickoff!
So there you have it! Fun facts. At least I hope you think their fun.

Love it and so excited to have you next week! I am totally with you on number 5. I’m actually obsessed with self-serve froyo, and we often say we’re bringing our 4 year old, but really it’s just for us!

Annmarie recently posted…18.12 Challenge Race Recap
uhhh YES!!! You don’t have to wait for my birthday, you know…
I have charm bracelets too 🙂 LOVE them. I even have my Mom’s now, which is really special.
Julie @ Running in a Skirt recently posted…Haywood County March for Babies
That is special! My mom has a beautiful one, too.
I always love surveys like this! I could only imagine the things you would miss with your food allergies. That would be tough.
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub recently posted…Recent Beauty Faves
I really really miss popcorn. It’s the only thing there’s really no alternative for.
OBSESSED with bulldogs too as you know 🙂 🙂
Sara @ Oats & Rows recently posted…Currently: September
Yes! I love your little nugget 🙂
Congrats on being part of Wild Workout Wednesday! I love gummy bears too but don’t eat them often! I think I’d cry if I had a peanut allergy, ugh!
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets recently posted…Guest Post – How to Change Your Workout Routine
Thanks!! I was really bummed about the peanuts at first. REALLY bummed, but I’ve learned to love almonds just as much 🙂
I have no idea if the gummy bears from Sprouts have corn syrup (I’m guessing no?) but they are seriously the BEST gummy bears in the WORLD. I have friends ship them to me. ha.
Ange @ Cowgirl Runs recently posted…Never Say Never
ooo IDK Sprouts, but I’m going to look into it now!
I to love to take a sneak peek at the behind the scenes of a blog and the person who runs it! Love posts like this. Congratulations on being part of the Wild Workout Wednesday! 🙂

Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner recently posted…Reset & Refocus September
haha thanks, Deborah!
Corn syrup has to be tough to avoid. Congrats on your new linkup hostessing duties! I have 3 charm bracelets….only one with some room. Good to know I am not alone in this addiction!
Marcia recently posted…Stay Healthy, Train Healthy with Zarbee’s Naturals
It’s super tough, but I’m learning about how to deal with it more and more each day. I love that you have charm bracelets, too!
Gummy bears sound really delicious right now!
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running recently posted…Sole Sister Run Virtual 7 Mile Race Recap
gah I want some!
Gummy bears are pretty darn awesome. I just posted some fun facts to instagram today from a friend’s challenge with this. One random fact: I am seriously addicted to Blistex chapstick. Not any other brand, and only the green blistex varieties. It’s bad.
Chrissy @ Snacking in Sneakers recently posted…My Favorite Workout Shirts + Tank Top Giveaway!
Blistex is the best! I don’t blame you haha
Aw! I love these!
I love bulldogs, but my first love is pugs! All the smush-faced dogs rule!
Jenn recently posted…race report: tour de pain – 5k road race & 1 mile sizzler {8.8.2015}
Agreed!!
Those pants are adorable. I need to check them out.
Hmm, have you tried Trader Joes? I don’t like to give my kids gummies with corn syrup, but it’s been a while since I looked for any (Kid 1 has braces so we don’t buy them anymore.)
MCM Mama Runs recently posted…Unstuffed Freekeh Cabbage Rolls + Giveaway
I have! The one by me doesn’t have corn-syrup free, but I feel like they HAVE to have an organic kind somewhere.
Fun facts! I love that you wanted to be in advertising from an early age, that is really cool.
Kelli recently posted…Woman Crush Wednesday – Sarah Talley
Thanks, Kelli!
have you tried annie’s gummy bears? i’m pretty sure they meet your requirements and they are FANTASTIC!
courtney @ eat pray run dc recently posted…What to Look for in a Running Coach
I’m not allergic to corn, officially, but it really upsets my GI tract! I stay away from everything containing corn and corn syrup. I don’t know if that’s a fun fact, but hey, there it is…
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home recently posted…Staying on track
It’s tough, huh? That stuff is in everything!
Yay I love learning more about the girls behind the blogs! I totally feel you on gummy bears. I don’t have to avoid any that contain corn, but gummy candies aren’t very braces-friendly so my intake has been pretty low the past couple of years 😉
Congrats on becoming a co-host for the link-up!
Ariana recently posted…Get back on track with me with #FreshStartSeptember!
Thanks, Ariana! I hope when the braces come off you go on a gummy bear spree!
Really loved learning a bit about you! Your blog is quickly becoming one of my most visited sites haha and PS super jealous you have flying dreams. I’ve always wanted to experience one and once even tried to lucid dream my way there hahah
Awe thank you, Cayanne!!
I love gummy bears. I enjoyed the rest of the list too. Charms is my fetish too.
Thanks, Priya!
Great wrap up of the challenge! Gummy bears made me laugh.
jill conyers recently posted…#7DayStretch with prAna
I do love them 🙂
Love those pants on you!! What a fun post – I love learning more about bloggers!
It would be so great to travel uninhibited someday – just go by the seat of your pants and see where you land. I love to travel, so this sounds like heaven!!
Natalie recently posted…Siggi’s Yogurt Giveaway!!
Thanks, Natalie! I agree! Let’s just go travel!
I love gummy bears, but they must be Haribo! Rest getting to know you better!
toni recently posted…Savory Breakfast with #Freekeh
I don’t think I can have the Haribo ones anymore, but they used to be my fave!
I’ve always wanted to have a charm bracelet! I love the travel idea. Where do you get your charms from?
Patty @ Reach Your Peak recently posted…6 Healthy Foods To Keep In Your Dorm Room
I go on a hunt where ever I travel – jewelry shops, tourist shops, anywhere! Sometimes I buy earrings or other trinkets and take a charm off of them.
I placed my first Prana order and I can’t wait for it to get here! and who doesn’t love gummy bears!??!
Mary Beth Jackson recently posted…Let’s Jump! It is a Wild Wednesday Workout!
